Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Liver tumor ablation is often guided by ultrasound (US). Due to poor image quality, intraoperative US is fused with preoperative computed tomography or magnetic tomography (CT/MR) images to provide visual guidance. As of today, the underlying 2D US to 3D CT/MR registration problem remains a very challenging task.
